-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
icaload



PURPOSE

Downloads tasks to an installed RIC adapter.

SYNTAX


           +------+
icaload ---|      |--- ric-number --- file --- task-number --->
           +- -v -+

    +---------------+
>---|               |---|
    +- load-option -+


Note:  This command is for the PS/2 only.

DESCRIPTION

The icaload command downloads tasks into RIC card memory.  The task image is
loaded from the file argument and must be either a DOS .COM or .EXE format
file.  If file is a .COM file, its name must end with ".com".  If file is a
.EXE file, the name can end in anything but ".com".  The ric-number specifies
which physical RIC co-processor is to be downloaded.  Physical card 0 is the
card in the lowest numbered slot in the PS/2.  The task is loaded as
task-number on the RIC card.

By default, the task is started after being loaded into the RIC card.  However,
you can load a task without starting it by setting load-option to either 1 or
L.

If the -v option is given, icaload prints a message indicating the starting
address of the task in RIC memory.

EXAMPLES

  1. Load RIC 0 with the RCM.  The RCM must be loaded as a task 0 and is called
    "icaaim.com".

      icaload 0 /usr/lib/cyclone/icaaim.com 0

  2. Load RIC 0 with the RS232 support program as task 1.  Do not start the
    task running.

      icaload 0 /usr/lib/cyclone/com232.exe 1 1
